St. Petersburg, Fla. — Eduardo Rodriguez, with every pitch he threw during his pregame warm-up, started to get a bad feeling in his left side.
Twenty-three pitches into his start Wednesday against the Rays, it was clear the discomfort was debilitating and he signaled to the dugout for manager AJ Hinch and head athletic trainer Doug Teter.
Just like, yet another Tigers starting pitcher is heading to the injured list.
"When I was warming up I felt a little pinch in my left side," Rodriguez said after the Tigers had dropped the finale to the Rays, 6-1, at Tropicana Field.
